Hypothesis
Due to the inherent reactivity of secondary amine groups on G and T bases, the adduct predominantly adds to these. To test the hypothesis, oligos 2 and 3 have been designed.

Summary
• LCMS analysis of the failure mode (oligos with n+85 adduct)
• +85 adduct impurity affects oligo API quality
• GCMS analysis of NMI: identification and validation of triazine impurity
• Triazine and acetic anhydride adds to oligo, resulting in +85 adduct
• Higher spiked amounts of triazine in capping reagent correspond to higher Oligo-adducts
• Evidence for adduct formation limited to sequences containing either G or T
• No +85 adduct formed in sequence containing only A and C
• Additional experiments to investigate mechanistic details are in progress
